Back-weighting

A club design feature that positions weight toward the back or rear portion of the club head to lower the center of gravity, increase launch angle, and improve forgiveness on off-center hits. Back-weighting helps golfers achieve higher ball flights and more consistent performance by making clubs more stable and forgiving through impact. Understanding back-weighting concepts helps golfers choose appropriate equipment and appreciate how club design affects performance characteristics. This design principle is particularly beneficial for golfers seeking help with trajectory and consistency in their iron play. Modern club design often incorporates sophisticated back-weighting systems to optimize performance for different swing types and skill levels.
